Portland d Ogdensburs,

North Conway hotel keepers have new
grief, and it is one that the summer visitor
to that beautiful town is deeply interested in.
For years efforts have been made to have the
Portland & 0gdensburg railroad run an ear
ly train from that place to Fabyan's, in time
to connect with the train to Mt. Washington,
in the early part of the day. This season
the company decided to put one on and make
the experiment to see il it would be sufii-
ciently patronized to Emake it permanent in
subsequent seasons. The timetables were
issued. and the time was at hand to make
the beginning; but the train did not run.
Inquiry brings out the fact that the Boston
Il Maine objected, and that the enterprise
has come to an untimely end. The Portland
Il Ogdensburg is largely dependent upon the
Boston & Maine for its through connections
and business, and when its plans do not suit
that corporation it has to yield IL seems TO
many that the Boston j. Maine makes a mis-
take to object to the running of the train.
They feared il would take away some of its
New York travel. and hence its protest. The
hotel keepers have taken the matter in
hand, and they propose to see what can be
done TO have the train run as was proposed.

time rapplng the animals with his hand.
They started suddenly and the cutter bar,
the whetted knives moving with lightning
ike rapldity, was brought against his legs
about eight inches from the ground. The

with all his might to stop the horses and Mr..
Sturgis leaped tO one side, but not until he

a finger and the knives had make bad flesh
wound ON the other leg, cutting 70 the bone.

Sanborn, the Superintendent ofthe Northern
Division of the Boston & Maine railroad,
and the agent having charge Of their inter
ests before the legislature here furnishes the
following to the Associated Press agent to-
night:
The Concord correspondent Of the Boston
Herald in this mornings edition does the
Boston IL Maine Railroad gross injustice by
attempting to connect it with any bill or
scheme to abolish the present judiciary and
establish new one. 1t has no knowledge
of or connection with any bill to inlany way
intefere with the New Hampshire court On
the contrary it is satisfied with that court as
now constituted. A policy which would
overturn the judiciary ON account of an adj
verse decision would be revolutionary and
should never be inaugurated, while the de-
cision referred to unsettled business and
made the legislation asked for necessary.
We have never questioned the ability or
doubted the honesty and integrity of the
New Hampshire court.
